Default Decent Car Mount for Axim X50v

I'm looking for a decent Car mount for my X50v, I've hada couple of cheap ones and the experience with them has been terrible... mainly with weak suction cups and vibrations going through the mount... I'm currently considering a Arkon DM320, does anyone know where to source one in Australia? or more specifically Brisbane or Gold Coast (coming down there for holidays in a week or so's time so if i could grab one then it'd be great) but postage is fine if thats what i have to do...

Any other recommendations?

I can't help with the mount but I've just purchased an AXIM x51v and wondered if you reckon the any of the mounts available on ebay are any good. Or would I just be wasting money?

That Haicom looks like the cheap ebay one i got, and the suction cup on it is pethetic.

The Seidio one looks good, can i get them in Australia or do i have to order one from overseas?

I got my about a year ago which was the G2500S. The G4500S is the new model. I didnt bother the integrated GPS as I have a CF GPS.

I order mine online direct from them. Some stores sell them here but its more expensive.
